Local police and State Police raided two Carver homes on Friday, and they arrested two men – one on gun charges and the other on drug charges.

Police said the cases were unrelated.

Carver police Sgt. Joseph Ritz and Carver officers Derrick Ostiguy and Glenn Gillan, along with detectives from the Massachusetts State Police Plymouth Crime Prevention and Control Unit, executed a search warrant at 214A Main St. early Friday morning. Police reported finding a .38-caliber revolver, ammunition and an undisclosed amount of cash.

Brian Hall, 23, of Carver was arrested. He was arraigned Friday in Wareham District Court on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition, Carver police said. The outcome of his arraignment was not available Sunday.

Ritz, Carver police Sgt. Raymond Orr, Carver officers Dennis Rizzuto Jr. and William Kelly, along with Hanson Detective Paul O’Brien, Pembroke Detective James Burns and members of the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the department’s K-9 division, executed a search warrant at 7 Callow St.

Police said an investigation initiated partly because of a recent overdose death at the house led to the seizure of a large quantity of oxycodone pills and $780 in cash.

Michael Digiovani, 29, of Carver was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of a Class B substance with intent to distribute, one count of possession of a Class B substance and one count of conspiracy to violate drug laws. He is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Wareham District Court.

Police said two other adults, whom they did not identify, will be summoned to court on narcotics-related charges.
